cluding garments  of  headgear,  footgear,  ornaments,  insignia,  buttons, 
decorations,  and  other  articles  herein  specified,  will,  with  the  excep- 
tions stated  in  this  paragraph,  conform  in  the  quality,  design,  and 
color  to  the  sealed  patterns  in  the  office  of  the  Quartermaster  General, 
who  will  from  time  to  time  publish  descriptions  and  specifications  of 
such  patterns.      Exceptions:  Officers'  collars,  cuffs,  evening  dress 
shirts,  neckties,  shirt  studs,  shoes,  socks,  and  white  gloves;  also  sus- 
penders for  officers  and  enlisted  men.

will  conform  to  the  patterns  in  the  office  of  the  Chief  of  Ordnance, 
who  will  from  time  to  time  publish  descriptions  and  specifications

the  dignity  of  the  uniform  and  the  respect  due  it  are  best  preserved

upon  it.    Permission  to  wear  civilian  clothes  when  on  pass  should 
never  be  granted  enlisted  men  merely  as  a  reward  for  good  conduct, 
as  this  would  appear  to  discredit  the  uniform.    Such  permission 
should  be  given  only  when  conditions  indicate  that  it  would  be 
for  the  best  interests  of  the  service,  and  is  not  in  violation  of  the 
provisions  of  these  regulations.
